Dogs

We only saw this once, and in our eyes this is one of the great “what ifs” of Saturday Night Live. We have always wondered if the Adam Sandler led “Dogs” which appeared in the final sketch in the Tom Arnold hosted show of the eighteenth season, could have been like a Blues Brothers and have a much greater life, or was it only meant to be a one note joke? Perhaps there was something about a Grunge band with a Dog motif that appealed to us, or maybe it was the potential of this great group of comedians that made us think it. Who knows, but as we did our research we learned two things…that not many remember them, and those who did wanted more.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Saturday Night Live (1993)
Actors:
Adam Sandler (Lead Singer)
Dana Carvey (Drums)
Mike Myers (Guitar)
Rob Schneider (Guitar)
Robert Smigel (Guitar)
Songs you might remember:
Bad
Why you should vote for him them:
This is one hell of a lineup of comedians…and they could play.
Why you should not vote for them:
Based on our research, this sketch does not even come close to the top 200 most memorable bits on SNL.

Based on his own life, “Songwriter” is the story of Doc Jenkins, a Country music star who battles for control of his own music. Nelson never strays from his range, and as such never fails and though this movie never found an audience, it is an underrated effort worth a look.

You would not think that Pimp/Dealer looking for a Rap career would be a solid candidate, but we think it should be. That was the plot in “Hustle & Flow” which starred Terrance Howard as the aspiring Rapper. It was a complex and deep role, which at its core was about a man trying to make a better life for himself, and the film was done so well that you don’t need to be a Hip Hop fan to relate. Howard was nominated for an Oscar, and the signature song from the movie “It’s Hard Out There For A Pimp” won the Oscar for Best Song. This makes this a very good choice in our eyes.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Hustle & Flow (2005)
Actor:
Terrance Howard
Songs you might remember:
It’s Hard Out There for a Pimp
Why you should vote for him:
Great acting and a Oscar winning song.
Why you should not vote for him:
Many people say that Rap should not be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; what will they say here?

Although we don’t have kids, we would think that if we did we would be cool if they watched DJ Lance Rock of Yo Gabba Gabba on Nickelodeon. Maybe we are biased because actual bands appear on the show, and that it does not seem condescending towards kids. We are very curious to see if this gains any traction at all.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Yo Gabba Gabba (2007-)
Actor:
Lance Robertson
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
We can’t imagine there is a candidate from a modern kids show who is better than this.
Why you should not vote for him:
For a DJ, we don’t know a whole lot of his material
